My girlfriend make scones, they are delightful, she also went all out and made clotted cream, the left over milk-cream was used in the scones, and I can taste that they were made with butter, they are very rich indeed.

Farmgal Baking Powder

Half a cup of butter or magrine or lard (your choice)

Three cups flour

1/2 tsp of salt

1 Tbsp of Sugar

2 Tbsp of Baking Powder

1 cup of Milk

Take the first five and add them in a bowl, cut the cold fat into the flour mixture till its blended in to tiny peices no bigger then the size of pea’s, then make a well in the middle and add the milk and stir, it will make a soft dough if its sticky, add a little more flour, turn out on a floured surface and gentle pat down into a round circle about half an inch high, you can cut it with a glass, or a jar lid ring, or proper steel cookie cutters or you can take a pizza cutter and cut into sqaures or you can score lines and bake it as a solid peice

I LOVE this combination…
Both in the mouth –
With its flavours of BRIGHT strawberry jam,
buttery, crunchy, flaky biscuit
layered in such creamy deliciousness
– Plus a treat to the eye
Then, to serve it on this gorgeously detailed pressed-glass plate is the crowning touch of crystalline elegance: )
Many thanks to both of you for sharing such a wonderful composition!
